Remember the Freddie Gray case that started the riots in Baltimore? It was split 50/50 between white & black cops involved. Here is some more information for you, in Andrew Rosenthal, NY Times editorial blogger, writes, "In any case, the numbers are misleading. 'Based on that data, Mr. Moskos reported that roughly 49 percent of those killed by officers from May 2013 to April 2015 were white, while 30 percent were black,' the Washington Times article said. 'He also found that 19 percent were Hispanic.'
That may be true, but whites make up 63 percent of the population of this country. Blacks are just 12 percent.
When Mr. Moskos adjusted his data to account for that, he found that black men were 3.5 times more likely to be killed by cops than white men". So it is pretty accurate...I am sure you will fail to realize this though...
